"[Your inner 8-year old] is the only real thing in you. It’s your humanity, your real individuality, the one that can’t understand why it was born and that knows it will have to die, in no matter how crowded a place, quite on its own. That’s the carrier of all the living qualities. It’s the centre of all the possible magic and revelation. What doesn’t come out of that creature isn’t worth having, or it’s worth having only as a tool—for that creature to use and turn to account and make meaningful." ~ "As Buddha says: live like a mighty river. And as the old Greeks said: live as though all your ancestors were living again through you." cc: Ted Hughes Sylvia Plath #OldLetters
